Hi,
Not much to tell you haven't heard before. I started with Cope when I was 12 and have been using it for the last 30 years. Before that it was Levi Garrett plug, Beechnut, and Tinsleys. Tinsleys....thats a blast from the past....
I read someones comment about keeping a diary/journal about quitting....you know all the reasons why, etc. Wish I had because I can't remember exactly what made me decide to do this.
Sometimes before I would fall asleep at night I would think about quitting and just the thought would give me a nicotine fit. So I prepared for a weekend of curling up on the floor in a fetal position chewing my nails up the wristbones and just got on with it. And guess what...it hasn't been bad...the first day was a little bit different...was very careful to keep the fingers away from the saw blades, but I've felt really good. No serious cravings or fits so far. My teeth and gums don't hurt anymore. Although I think my blood pressure is up from all the sunflower seeds. I've tried some herbal chews and just having something to poke under the gum after a meal seems to work. So anyway this is day 5 and I'm feeling pretty good, not to high or to low.
Anyhoo......just thought I would ramble while my dinner warms....ya'll take care..
